USC VS HAAS?

I'm currently a freshmen in a California Community College, I so far have great stats, and if continued, am confident I could be accepted into both of the schools. That being said USC is much more incoming sophomore friendly, while Berkeley only accepts juniors for the most part, I know that the sophomore to junior summer internship is crucial, but Berkeley has much better recruiting and national recognition. Thoughts?

Definitely Haas. Have had a strong grasp over the west coast for a while, and east coast placements have been improving over the last few years. You’ll need to get creative and have a set game plan to position yourself well professionally. For this, I would recommend reaching out to current students or alumni that were in your shoes and went on to top banks. It’ll be a grind but very well worth it when you achieve your ultimate goal.

 

Definitely Haas, I went to community college and Haas has a Pre-Core program that really helps you ease in as a transfer. Furthermore, many Haas community college alum are in banking and being a Haas transfer is an easy connection point with those people.
